is this a richard branson type of guy? >> yeah, richard branson by way of mama cass. it's a -- it's sort of branson's hair. it's got a little elon musk. it's got a little what's her name, the drop-out, the theranos. >> jimmy: oh yeah, yeah. >> i didn't do very good research. sort of these people. and so it's sort of like an amalgamation of these ceos who have a lot of time on their hands, a loft money, and tweet a little too much. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> and he just -- what's amazing about judd is he gaslights himself. he really is like one of those guys who tells himself something that is an absolute lie, but he just convinces himself that it's the truth. and it reminds me of certain politicians. but it's sort of like -- it's kind of like this weird docu-style thing now where i watch it every week, and ar armando, a brillint creator. >> thick of it, "death of stalin," he's got this ability to sort of tap into these proph. last year we did an episode where a bunch of people start walking out of an air lock because they don't believe they're in space. and they keep de

expensive f we didn't have billionaires like elon musk doing this and jeff bezos doing this and richard branson doing this, would we be where we are today? >> we would not frankly because the incumbency we had, the united launch alliance, they're still in existence of course, a joint venture between boeing and lockheed martin, they had the monopoly on government launches including to the international space station and so you know, back in the shuttle days i mean. neil: right. >> so without disruptor like elon musk coming in, now he has brought the launch cost of a satellite say, not necessarily a crew flight but a satellite, instead of costing in the neighborhood of 1 bun, 150 million to launch a satellite, using reusable booster he is advertising prices closer to 35 million. dramatically brought the price down but still not low enough for you and me, right? four people aboard the vehicle, divide 35 million by four, still a pretty big number. neil: you're right, my friend. thank you, leroy. you're a very modest guy but i always heard it said about you your pulse rate would be incredibly low th

richard branson and stevejobs are just two examples of high achieving dyslexics.linkedin as a skill, and some firms are now actively looking to employ dyslexics because of their unique skills. joining me now is kate griggs, founder made by dyslexia. great to have you on the programme, kate. talk us through how it is viewed in the workplace generally at the moment? i workplace generally at the moment?— moment? i think dyslexic thinking _ moment? i think dyslexic thinking has _ moment? i think dyslexic thinking has always i moment? i think dyslexic| thinking has always been, moment? i think dyslexic. thinking has always been, or dyslexia has been associated with the negatives of finding literacy and spelling difficult but we are now realising from all of the research that majority has been doing is it's actually a very strong skill set. dyslexic thinking is actually all of the soft skills that every single is looking for. so as machines take over a lot ofjobs, it's actually the human skills, soft skills, dyslexic thinking skills that are needed for the future. compa

largely to do with non- human spaceflight gets a lot of attention we have suborbital launches with richard bransonbezos went toou space last year with their companies and of course you have astronauts going with space x and hopefully soon with boeing. that is a new space-age. no question it was about the cold war so the new space-age is about a lot of things but for me it's about getting back to the roots. space is another amazing resource we can use to help society. >> let's talk abouts that with the space tourism aspect it is roots and travel the space shuttle was supposed to be flying private citizens all the timeth when it fly so frequently because they cannot fill with professionally trained astronauts and then christa mcauliffe was on a challenger 1986 when it exploded and that program basically went away and now it is resurrected by private industry . there is a lot of criticism because it's rich white men going up as the first space tourist that starting to change but you talk about that in the book and some of the benefits of that so can you open it up? >> i do equate that to theha early

suborbital launches with jeff a social and richard branson last year with the company and spacex hopefully soon with boeing. that is a new space age, no question. we consider the first case age, it was about war, very much associated with the military with all white men. this space age is about a lot of etthings. for me, it's space is another amazing resource we can use to help society. >> let's talk about that, space tourism aspect because it has a shuttle, space shuttle was supposed to be flying private citizens all the time. frequently they couldn't fill the seats with specially trained astronauts and the teacher from new hampshire was on challenger in 1986 when it exploded in that program basically went away and now it's being resurrected by the private industry. there's a lot of criticism because it's rich white men going up as the first tourists, piercing that change but you talk about that in the book the benefits of that so i wonder if you could open that up. >> i do equate it to the early days of aviation, something that is risky in the private sector and aviation got into right a

. >> no, no, no, sir richard branson. >> okay, i think the water just has to -- >> let me tell you what i think -- ahhh! >> oh, my god! oh, my god! i'm out of here! >> that was a moment. >> you looked genuinely ticked off there, were you? >> i was, i was. >> you supposedly said, after that, that you never want to be in the same room with sir richard again. is that true? >> not quite like that. i was just like, it's not something i would look forward to. >> have you been in the same room with him? >> no, i have not. i haven't talked to him since. not a word. >> what's your relationship like with the other sharks, particularly mr. wonderful? >> we're family. we really, really are. we get together, we go to each other's birthdays, get together, hang out. and kevin, he's a self-described mr. wonderful, but he's a good guy. >> let's talk about your being an entrepreneur, and i don't mean being on somebody else's back. you are famous for getting cold e-mails and your g-mail address is pretty well known and you get cold emails,

we have suborbital launches with jeff bezos and richard branson both having gone to space themselves last year with their with their companies. and of course you have the astronauts now going with spacex and hopefully soon to be going with boeing that is a new space age. there's just no question. we consider the first space age and lots of things differentiate it it was about the cold war it was very much associated with the military. it was all white men. so this new space age is about a lot of things for me. it is about getting sort of back to our roots of spaces another amazing resource that we can use to help society. well, let's talk about that. i mean particularly the space tourism aspect because it has its roots and shuttle. i mean the space shuttle was supposed to be flying private citizens all the time. is it going to fly so frequently the nassau could not fill all the seat with professionally trained astronauts. and of course christa mcauliffe the teacher from new hampshire was on a challenger in 1986 when it exploded in that program basically went away and now it's being r
